Introduction
The D-Link DI-524UP Wireless Router is an 802.11b/g high-performance, wireless
router that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public
places.
The 802.11g standard is backwards compatible with 802.11b products. This means that
you do not need to change your entire network to maintain connectivity. You may
sacrifice some of 802.11g¡ƒs speed when ou mix 802.11b and 802.11g devices, but you
will not lose the ability to communicate when you incorporate the 802.11g standard into
your 802.11b network. You may choose to slowly change your network by gradually
replacing the 802.11b devices with 802.11g devices.
In addition to offering faster data transfer speeds when used with other 802.11g
products, the DI-524UP has the newest, strongest, most advanced security features
available today. When used with other 802.11g WPA or WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access)
and 802.1x compatible products in a network with a RADIUS server, the security
features include:
•
WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and identifies users based on a secret
key that changes automatically at a regular interval. WPA uses TKIP (Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet
is a kind of message transmitted over a network.) This insures much greater
security than the standard WEP security. (By contrast, the older WEP encryption
required the keys to be changed manually.)
•
WPA2, based on the IEEE 802.1i Wi-Fi certified standard, goes a level beyond
the previous WPA by enhancing security with a new encryption code.
Employing AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), and yet still backwards
compatible with WPA, WPA2 utilizes 802.1X and EAP (Extensible
Authentication Protocol) to verify users on the wireless network using a
Pre-Shared Key. Once all users on the LAN have been authenticated, there can
be a securely encrypted flow of information between all parties on the LAN.
For home users that will not incorporate a RADIUS server in their network, the security for
the DI-524UP, used in conjunction with other 802.11g products, will still be much
stronger than ever before. Utilizing the Pre Shared Key mode of WPA, the DI-524UP will
obtain a new security key every time it connects to the 802.11g network. You only need
to input your encryption information once in the configuration menu. No longer will you
have to manually input a new WEP key frequently to ensure security, with the DI-524UP,
you will automatically receive a new key every time you connect, vastly increasing the
safety of your communications.
The DI-524UP also comes equipped with one USB 1.1 port on the rear panel that
supports printer sharing.
Connections
All Ethernet Ports (WAN and LAN) are auto MDI/MDIX, meaning you can

Wireless Basics
D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and
compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public
access wireless networks. D-Link wireless products will allow you access to the data
you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that
wireless networking brings.
A WLAN is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals
instead of wires. WLANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments, and
public areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize
WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more efficiently.
Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure have proven to
be beneficial for many users.
Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless
adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols as
Ethernet adapter cards.
People use wireless LAN technology for many different purposes:
Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any location
within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time
information can significantly improve worker efficiency.
Low Implementation Costs
WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and
relocate. Networks that frequently change can benefit from WLANs ease of
implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be
impractical.
Installation and Network Expansion - Installing a WLAN system can be fast and
easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless
technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go - even outside the home or
office.
Scalability
WLANs can be configured in a variety of topologies to meet the needs
of specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range
from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number of users to larger infrastructure
networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number of
wireless devices deployed.
Inexpensive Solution - Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as
conventional Ethernet network devices.
Standards-Based Technology
The DI-524UP Wireless Router utilizes the new 802.11g standard.
The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the
data rate up to 54 Mbps within the 2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM technology.
This means that in most environments, within the specified range of this device, you will
be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your
network without noticeable delays. This technology works by transmitting high speed
digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing) technology. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller
sub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the
receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions.
The DI-524UP is backwards compatible with 802.11 b devices. This means that if you
have an existing 802.11 b network, the devices in that network will be compatible with
802.11g devices at speeds of up to 11 Mbps in the 2.4GHz range.
Installation Considerations
The D-Link DI-524UP lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from
virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, that the number,
thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must
pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of
materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The
key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DI-524UP and other
network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link
wireless product¡ƒs r angefr o m-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so
that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick
(.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a
2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that
the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for
better reception.
3. Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or
aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless
devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes
through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical
devices or appliances that generate extreme RF noise.
Getting Started

WCN
WCN or Windows Connect Now Technology is used to
automatically configure the wireless settings for this device. The
WCN must be previously configured on computer running a
Windows XP operating system, which has Service Pack 2
installed. Once the configuration has been completed by
running the Wireless Network Setup Wizard, it must be saved
to a USB enabled memory device and then uploaded
automatically to the router and any other device to be put on
this wireless network, using this method. No configuration will
be necessary except for ensuring that this WCN radio button is
enabled before connecting the memory drive to the router. For
a concise explanation on configuring the WCN on Windows XP,
see the Appendix at the back of this manual. (Note: For the
11
client implementation of this function, please see the user
manual for the associated client PC)
Wireless Radio
Click the appropriate radio button to enable or disable the
Wireless Access part of this device.
SSID
Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name designated for a specific wireless local area network (WLAN). The SSID¡ƒs f act or y

connect to an existing wireless network or to establish a new
wireless network. This field will be automatically configured for
users who have uploaded a WCN configuration.
Channel
What channels are available for use by the access point
depends on the local regulatory environment. Remember that
all devices communicating with the device must use the same
channel (and use the same SSID). Use the drop-down menu to
select the channel used for your 802.11b wireless LAN.
Authentication
This router employs three basic types of Authentication for
access to the router¡ƒs w
i r el ess net wor k, Open Syst e m
/ Shar ed
Key 802.1X (RADIUS) and PSK (Pre-Shared Key), which can
be selected by clicking the corresponding radio button. Each
selection will alter the window to accommodate the entry of the
selected Authentication. See the explanation below for more
information.
Open System/Shared Key
The Open System/Shared Key choice for Authentication will produce the same window
for the user¡ƒs confi gur ati onThe Open System choice is for general use and utilizes the
basic WEP encryption. The Shared Key choice is used between cooperating devices
that share a common encryption key. WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol or Wired
Equivalent Privacy) encryption can be enabled for security and privacy. WEP encrypts
the data portion of each frame transmitted from the wireless adapter using one of the
predefined keys. Decryption of the data contained in each packet can only be done if
the both the receiver and transmitter have the correct shared key.
12
WEP
Click the Enabled radio button to employ WEP encryption on the router.
WEP Encryption
Use the drop-down menu to select the type of WEP encryption.
Select 64 Bit to enabled 64 bit Hexadecimal encryption, 128 Bit to enable 128 bit
Hexadecimal encryption. For 64-bit encryption, the (ASCII) characters are converted
automatically and listed as 10-digit hexadecimal keys. 64-bit encryption allows you to
select one of four active keys. For 128-bit encryption, the characters are converted and
listed as a 26 digit hexadecimal key. 128-bit encryption allows you to select one of four
active keys. 128-bit keys are to be from 5-13 inputted characters in length and 256-bit
keys must be from 10-26 inputted characters in length. Failing to have the same key on
the server and its clients will result in the clients not receiving any information from the
router or its connected devices.
Key Type Use the pull-down menu to select the type of Key to be used for encryption.
The user may choose HEX (Hexidecimal) or ASCII (American Standard Code for
Information Interchange). Both will require the user to enter a key in the following field.
Key The user may enter up to four keys to be used for encryption. Only the key
selected using the corresponding radio button will be used for encryption.

WPA/WPA2
WPA or Wireless Protection Access is a new an improved standard of wireless security.
WPA offers encryption keys of up to 256-bits that automatically change frequently. On
this router, the WPA utilizes the RADIUS protocol, which utilizes a server to authorize
the user by matching a Shared Secret password listed in its RADIUS database. There
are two choices for the user to choose from. WPA and WPA2, both use the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES). In order to use this function, a RADIUS server must be
established on a computer on the LAN. This RADIUS server must be configured to have
the same key as the users on the LAN accessing it.
RADIUS Server IP Enter the IP address of the remote RADIUS server through which
you will be authenticated.
Port Enter the virtual port number to which to connect through the RADIUS server.
Common port numbers for RADIUS are 1812 and 1813.
Shared Secret
Enter the password that will be used to authenticate you on the
wireless network. This password must be the same on the RADIUS server in order for
you to be authorized. (Note: For the client implementation of this function, please see
the user manual for the associated client PC.)
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) uses the same encryption as the WPA but is implemented
differently. All devices on the wireless network share the same key (Passphrase) to
activate the WPA security. There are two choices for the user to choose from.
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK, which both use the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
To utilize, select one of the previous choices, enter the Passphrase, confirm it in the
14
second field and click Apply. (Note: For the client implementation of this function,
please see the user manual for the associated client PC.)
WPA-AUTO/WPA-PSK-AUTO
In addition to standard Wireless Protection Access and WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
functions, the DI-524UP allows users an automatic option for both WPA and WPA-PSK.
In order to use the WPA-Auto function, a RADIUS server must be established on a
computer on the LAN. This RADIUS server must be configured to have the same key as
the users on the LAN accessing it
To utilize the WPA-PSK-Auto function, select one of the previous choices, enter the
Passphrase, confirm it in the second field, and then click Apply.
(Note: For the client implementation of this function, please see the user manual for the
associated client PC.)

Home > WAN > Others > L2TP
Some ISPs may require the user to uplink
using the Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling (L2PT)
method. L2PT is a VPN protocol that will
ensure a direct connection to the server
using an authentication process that
guarantees the data originated from the
claimed sender and was not damaged or
altered in transit. Once connected to the VPN
tunnel, it seems to the user that the client
computer is directly connected to the internal
network. To set up your L2PT connection,
enter the following data that was provided to
you by your ISP.
L2PT
Choose between Dynamic and Static IP. Using Dynamic IP,
the router will set your basic IP parameters, such as the IP
Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. For Static IP, this
information must be set manually by the user.

Advanced > Filters
Packet filtering is a basic security measure that should be used on any network that is
exposed to a security risk. A packet filter system examines data packets and scrutinizes
them in order to control network access. Filtering rules determine whether packets are
passed through the Router from either side of the gateway. The rules are created and
controlled by the network administrator and can be precisely defined. These rules are
used to block access to the LAN from outside the network and/or to deny access to the
WAN from within the network. The Router uses filtering rules to examine data packet
headers for specific information. Packets passing through the Router that do not meet
the criteria specified by the rule set are dropped.
29
Effective implementation of packet filtering requires detailed knowledge of network
services and communication protocols. An overly complicated filtering scheme can
adversely affect the Router¡ƒs perf or mance, whil e an i nadequat e set of r ul es may
needlessly compromise security.
This Router has two fields to configure for filtering which are IP Filters and MAC Filters.
Advanced > Filters > IP Filters

Advanced > Parental Control > URL Blocking
URL or Uniform Resource Locator is a specially formatted text string that uniquely
defines an Internet website. This window will allow users to block computers on the LAN
from accessing certain URLs. This may be accomplished by simply entering the URL to
be blocked in the URL Keyword field. The user may also use this field to block certain
websites by entering a keyword into the URL Keyword field. So, if any website¡ƒs URL
contains this word, it will automatically be denied access to users on the LAN.
For example, if you wish to block users from accessing shopping websites, enter the
keyword ¡§shoppi ng¡ ¤ int o t he URL Ke ywor df ield. Websi t es havi ng ¡ §shoppi ng¡ ¤ i n th
URL
(such
as
http://www.yahoo.com/shopping/stores.html
or
http://www.msn/search/shopping-spree.html) will now be denied access from computers
on the LAN. This feature may be beneficial to parents wanting to stop their kids from
accessing certain websites or for companies who want their employees to stop surfing
the Internet on company time.
To configure this window for URL blocking, enter the website¡ƒs addr ess or a key wor d

33
Advanced > Parental Control > Domain Blocking
Domain blocking is a method of denying or allowing computers on the LAN access to
specific domains on the Internet. There are two available methods available to the user
to institute Domain blocking on the router. Under the Domain Blocking header in the
screen pictured above, the user has three choices, one of which is to disable Domain
blocking. The second choice is Allow users to access all domains except ¡ § Bl ocked
Domainsi . This option is for users who wish to block certain domains from being
accessed by local users on the LAN, but leave the rest open for use. To specify which
Domains you wish to exclude from use by computers on the LAN, enter the Domain¡ƒs
URL (ex. yahoo.com, google.com) into the Blocked Domains field and then click Apply.
The blocked entry will appear in the Blocked Domains List at the bottom of the screen.
To modify an entry in this list, click its corresponding edit icon. To delete an entry from
this list, click its corresponding delete icon.
For users wishing to allow computers on the LAN access to only specified domains,
choose option three under the Domain Blocking heading, Deny users to access all
domains except ¡ § Per m
itt ed Do mai ns. To specify which domains you wish to include
for this option, enter the Domain¡ƒs URL( ex. yahoo. co m
, googl e. co m)i nt ot hePermitted
Domains field and then click Apply. The permitted entry will appear in the Permitted
Domains List at the bottom of the window. To modify an entry in this list, click its
corresponding edit icon. To delete an entry from this list, click its corresponding delete
34
icon.
NOTE: Choosing the Deny users to access all domains except ¡ § Per m
itt ed
Domains¡ ¤option will block access to all other Internet traffic except the Domains
specified. Be careful not to misuse this option or users on the LAN will have difficulty
accessing network resources.
Advanced > Firewall
This Router comes equipped with a firewall. The Firewall configuration screen allows
the Router to enforce specific predefined policies intended to protect against certain
common types of attacks. To configure the Router¡ƒs fi r e wall, cli ck t heAdvanced tab at
the top of the screen and then the Firewall tab to the left. To configure rules for the
firewall, modify the following fields and click Apply to set the rule in the Routers memory.
Newly configured firewall rules will be displayed in the Firewall Rules List at the bottom
35
of the page. To modify an entry in this list, click its corresponding edit icon. To delete an
entry from this list, click its corresponding delete icon.
Firewall
Click the corresponding radio button if you wish to enable or
disable the firewall function on the Router.
Name
Enter a name that will define the firewall rule to be configured.
This entry is dependant on how the user wishes to classify this
rule.
Action
Click whether to Allow or Deny traffic to pass through the
Router by checking the corresponding radio button. Users may
configure only specific traffic to pass through the router by
checking Allow or users may stop specific traffic from passing
through the Router by checking Deny.
Source
Enter the IP address or range of IP addresses that you wish to
block or allow to pass through the router. The Source may be
identified on the LAN side, the WAN side or both by using the
pull-down menu for the Interface heading.
Dest
Enter the IP address or range of IP addresses that you wish to
deny or allow access to the Internet. The Destination may be
identified on the LAN side, the WAN side or Both by using the
pull-down menu for the Interface heading. The type of protocol
may also be chosen by using the pull-down menu. The user
may choose between TCP, UDP, ICMP or (*) Any. The user
may also select a range of ports of the destination IP addresses
by entering the range under the Port Range heading.
Schedule
Clicking Always will set the firewall permanently, unless
changed by the user. Alternately, the user may set up a time
schedule to implement the firewall, on a week-to-week basis by
clicking the From radio button and setting the appropriate times
to begin and end the firewall function.
36
Advanced > DMZ
Firewalls may conflict with certain interactive applications such as video conferencing or
playing Internet video games. For these applications, a firewall bypass can be set up
using a DMZ IP address. The DMZ IP address is a ¡§vi si bl e¡ ¤ addr ess and does no
benefit from the full protection of the firewall function. Therefore it is advisable that other
security precautions be enabled to protect the other computers and devices on the LAN.
It may be wise to use isolate the device with the DMZ IP address from the rest of the
LAN.
For example, if you want to use video conferencing and still use a firewall, you can use
the DMZ IP address function. In this case, you must have a PC or server through which
video conferencing will take place. The IP address of this PC or server will then be the
DMZ IP address. You can designate the server¡ƒsI P addr ess ast he D MZ byt ypi ngi nt he
IP address in the IP Address space provided and then enabling its status by clicking
the Enabled radio button and then click Apply.
For the system that uses the DMZ IP address, you may want to manually assign an IP
37
address to it and adjust your DHCP server addresses so that the DMZ IP address is not
included in the DHCP server range. This way you avoid possible IP address problems if
you reboot the DMZ system. To configure the Router¡ƒs D MZ I P addr ess, cli ck t he
Advanced tab at the top of the window and then the DMZ tab to the left.
Advanced > DDNS
The DI-524UP supports Dynamic Domain Name Service. Dynamic DNS allows a
dynamic public IP address to be associated with a static host name in any of the many
domains, allowing access to a specific host from various locations on the Internet. With
this function enabled, remote access to a host will be allowed by choosing a URL by
using the pull-down menu. Because many ISPs assign public IP addresses using DHCP,
it can be difficult to locate a specific host on the LAN using the standard DNS. For
example, if you are running a public web server or VPN server on your LAN, DDNS
ensures that the host can be located from the Internet if the public IP address changes.
38
Note: DDNS requires that an account be setup with one of the supported DDNS servers
prior to engaging it on the router. This function will not work without an accepted
account with a DDNS server.
DDNS
Click the Enabled button to enable the DDNS feature
on the router.
Server Address
Choose the DDNS server address from the pull down
menu. Available servers include DynDns.org,
No-IP.com, hn.org and zoneedit.com.

Use the pull-down menu to select the transfer data rate,
in Mbps. The default setting of Auto will automatically
adjust the transfer rate to the highest possible rate
allowed.
48
Transmit Power
Allows the user to adjust the transmit power of the
router. A high transmit power allows a greater area
range of accessibility to the router.
Beacon Interval
Beacons are emitted from the router in order to
synchronize the wireless network. You may set the
range between 20-100 microseconds per beacon sent.
The default is 100.
RTS Threshold
The RTS (Request to Send) Threshold controls the size
of data packets issued to a RTS packet. A lower level
will send packets more frequently which may consume
a great amount of the available bandwidth. A high
threshold will allow the router to recover from
interference or collisions which is more prevalent in a
network with high traffic or high electromagnetic
interference. The default setting is 2346.
Fragmentation
The fragmentation threshold will determine if packets
are to be fragmented. Packets over the 2346 byte limit
will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the
default setting.
DTIM Interval
DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is a
countdown informing clients of the next window for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages. The
default setting is 3.
Preamble Type
